I received this as a Christmas present, but it was one I asked for. The numerous posts on this topic from Professor Glenn Reynolds intrigued me. The fact that it would excite my grandson was what pushed me over.

Naturally, I've expected a learning curve in being able to fly the helicopter with skill. However, I've noticed something pronounced and am wondering if this is normal. I will have the helicopter in hover and will push the control so that it will move forward. 60% of the time, it will do so. The other 40%, it just drops like a rock. Is there something I need to know, or is this defective?

Is the tail rotor turning ok? try holding heli and test if rear rotor turning ok-suspect maybe rear rotor spinning on shaft or loose wire on rear tail motor-was the heli flying ok out of the box,or did it start this problem after a crash?

Bingo: The tail rotor is not working. Doesn't spin at all. Impossible to say if this happened after a crash or was in this state out-of-the-box. With one's first attempt at flying, there seems to be too much going on to notice details. I haven't flown it more than 10 minutes total, so it hasn't had many crashes and none seemed particularly harsh.
